House ideally located at the edge of the Loire and the heart of the region of castles, in a quiet location, with exceptional view, especially from the terrace, surrounded by nature. You have direct access to the river below the garden.

The house, old, is in stone. It is completely independent. You have a large room with kitchen, dining area and lounge area with fireplace and small stereo, opening onto the terrace from where we admire the Loire. Above mezzanine, a rest area with TV. A room with a double bed 160 cm, shower room and separate toilet at the same level, and two bedrooms, smaller, upstairs, each with two single beds that can match into a large (160 and 180). The garden is sunken. From 7 nights the price is reduced. Power consumption is more (surveys in support)

I spent 10 lovely days. The person who greeted us was very nice. The house is large and comfortable, the living room is very pleasant, with its large fireplace and some beautiful vintage furniture. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious. The environment is breathtaking. Certainly we sometimes hear the highway that passes away by the wind (in the house well insulated, absolutely nothing) or the few trains that pass not very far. But we mostly hear the birds singing, and there are many! Ducks, terns, herons, coots, raptors ... Bring your binoculars! A lovely nutria going morning and evening in water, a bunny outline in the garden. The road behind the house offers beautiful views of the Loire and the surrounding countryside, to get to Langeais by its suspension bridge I preferred to the highway. Villandry is nearby, Tours to 20-30 minutes. The lady who makes bread next is adorable. In short, the house has excellent location and exceptional views, would stay again.

We had a very nice stay in the middle of nature. Along the river the setting is beautiful. The house is simple and has the necessary equipment. We had a friendly welcome.

Ines2015-07-18T00:00:00Z

Wonderful experience at the edge of the Loire. Behind the house, a charming little road to walk along the Loire and Cher, walk, bike, stroller. We could put our kayaks in the water from the house. We spent a pleasant time watching the wildlife from the terrace! Our dogs were happy to run to the bank. A nice house, very warm, for nature and relaxing holiday.

David2016-09-11T00:00:00Z

We have been very very well received in Villandry, in warm and friendly way. Home match exactly the description contained in the Airbnb website. The house is quite insulated in the most perfect peace, with respect for nature. and indeed, on the Loire!

Rachel2016-02-25T00:00:00Z

A pleasant welcome, a nice house, great views over the Loire, a quiet, a beautiful area ... We are delighted with our stay.

Patricia2015-08-07T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time in Xaviers`s cosy and very individual house and generally at the Loire! The communication with Xavier and with the lady who organizes the house went perfectly well. The house is situated directly at the Loire bicycle route. A dip into the Loire is possible just some meters away from the house at a picknick sight. If you book early enough you can rent a canoe and do a river tour. The best thing about the house is of course the terasse with a unique view on the river! The house is well equiped, nothing missing at all, even dish washing and clothes washing is possible. If you like individual accomadation, you will love it! We, as a family of five, enjoyed our stay very much, the kids and the parents! Thanks Xavier!

Diana2016-09-03T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Xavier wowed us! The place on the Loire is beautiful. The bakery opposite do excellent bread. The house is very nice, we especially enjoyed the large living room and fireplace. There are all the necessary equipment, books, dvd ... We recommend !!!!

Anael2015-12-24T00:00:00Z

We had a good weekend with family at Xavier. The living room is very nice. The kitchen is open to the dining room and living room which makes the house very warm. The living room with comfortable armchairs, his stereo and his little table (unfold!) Calls to land near the fire for a board game, a card game, snack or a drink. The view of the Loire does not hurt the picture! Villandry (a few kilometers) is a beautiful little town: magnificent castle and beautiful hiking 10 km from the tourist office. Thank you to our host!

My guest rooms are very well situated for all the visits of the Loire castles. The restaurants are nearby, the Villandry Gardens are my neighbors. The farmhouse Tours is 1830 well renovated and has large rooms with large bathrooms and toilets. Overlooking the valley of the Loire and Cher, the calm is full and unobstructed views from the landscaped garden.

Nicole was not at home when we arrived but after a phone call, she gave us the code of the electric fence so we could go in. She told us we could help ourselves with some drinks out of the fridge. She arrived within 10 minutes. All went very smoothly. The room was perfect and the bathroom very clean and welcoming with fresh flowers from the garden. Nicole adviced us on the chateaux to visit and the restaurants to go to. Lovely place to stay and beautiful region of France to vgisit !

Damien2016-08-20T00:00:00Z

Nicole and Dominique were very attentive and very helpful. we had a lovely stay. we love the home made jam. thx john and karen

John2016-09-06T00:00:00Z

A nice, quiet location with secure parking about 1.5 km from the village and chateau of Villandry. Excellent continental breakfast every day with fresh croisants and baguette, home-made jams and tea and coffee. Well-kept swimming pool and extensive tidy garden; pleasant to sit on the patio with a book and a glass of wine or a cup of coffee and look at the trees and pool. Several chateaux worth visiting within 30 minutes drive. One significant drawback is the lack of a wifi signal which made it impossible to use the laptop computer and difficult to use a smart-phone. Nicole is a very attentive host ensuring that everything at "petit dejuner" is just-so, adjusting the cups etc whilst we breakfasted. Rooms were spotlessly clean and linen changed frequently.

Mary2016-09-17T00:00:00Z

The property was very nice, and as described. Nicely furnished, newer appliances and spacious. The lawn/garden was fenced and so perfect for our dog. We enjoyed being in the country setting but close enough to walk into town for s baguette, lunch or dinner, or a glass of wine. Agnes and her family are very helpful and responsive to questions or needs. We would recommend this property very highly. Our visit was over 2 months long, and we had 4 adults at times. There is more than space for that number of people.

Cédric2017-05-08T00:00:00Z

Very nice quiet house, perfect with small children. Ideal to enjoy the charms of Touraine (castles and vineyards).

Julie2016-10-23T00:00:00Z

We had a great time staying at this house. It was comfortable, modern, and plenty of space for us (4 adults and one baby, but could definitely have fit more). The yard was perfect for my son to explore, and had an outdoor dining table and lounge chairs. The environment was beautiful and our son loved the cows that could come right up to the yard. Everything was in great shape including the kitchen and bathrooms. Agnes had compiled several brochures about the region (in French). She was very quick to respond via text and came by with extra supplies during our stay when I asked. One thing to note, the area is rather remote (5 minutes from Villandry, which is quite a small town; 15 minutes from Azay-le-Rideau which is larger with more options). This was fine with us as we were looking for a relaxing vacation, but just something to keep in mind as far as the type of stay you will have.

The gite is perfectly situated for visiting chateaux, walking or cycling along the Cher and the Loire. Staying at the gite in Villandry has been the highlight of our French holiday. Highly recommended!

This place is perfectly located to explore this part of the Loire's castles. The house is all you can ask when renting a place for your holidays. It is not only very well equiped but also super clean and the big stone walls make it a fresh refugee on hot summer days. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommendable.

We are grateful and our home is open to them to stay with us anytime when they are traveling through the USA. Regards, Barbara and Will

We had a wonderful stay at Richard's. He provided us with excellent directions, his home and garden was exactly as pictured online. Breakfast was a visual and gourmet treat. He offered us many suggestions of what to see and do in the area. We used his bikes for a lovely ride in the surrounding countryside. This is the place to stay, we hope to return one day!

Most enjoyable guestexpereince! Both Richard and his wife are incredible hosts. Richard drove down the hill to meeet us on the main road to show the last few kilometers to get to his home (we were on the bike). They offer great suggestions what to doin the area. Breakfast is yummy and depending on weather is served on patio. We stayed on the attic which is comfotable, clean and cosy. Wifi is offered and works well.Hosts let us use the house and garden at leisure. Really homely feeling. Wonderful stay!

Dirk-Jan2014-08-27T00:00:00Z

this was without question the most quaint and serene airbnb location i've stayed in (about 10 so far). the attic where we stayed had a billiard table, a music room (many guitars, a piano, and an accordion), and a diverse collections of books (if you read french) - a great way to spend time with friends. my ultimate favorite part of the place was the outdoor section - sitting alfresco in the sun, enjoying the view of the pond with flowing water, the trees and plants that Richard planted, the beautiful sky. Richard also took me on a tour of the bee boxes in the backyard and the various trees from which his wife makes jams (which you get for breakfast!) - respect for a couple so skilled with their hands. it is a slight bit of a detour compared to living in the nearby cities of Villandry or Azay le Rideau (i.e. in apartments rather than houses), but totally worth it if you are looking for a place to calm the mind and rejuvenate the spirit.

Michelle2014-08-20T00:00:00Z

A FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE. Richard and his wife are fantastic anfintriones. Unbeatable. The house is better than it appears in the ad. We thoroughly enjoyed the house and the company is this couple. Breakfast on the terrace will be unforgettable. The exquisite ... It could not have been better. We look forward to repeating.

Staying at Richard & Roseliane's is part of a delightful stay in Touraine ! Francesca & I have been enchanted by the warm, trusting and open welcome by Roseliane and Richard. They are both communicative and discrete, and we spent several passionnate discussions without which our Easter holiday in the Loire valley would not have been so charming and engaging. Travels, art, lifestyle, past experiences and beehives have been some of the topic of exchanges - not to mention the delicious home-grown and made fruits marmalades! We were delighted by the calm and quiet surroundings - quite a feat for urbans from Paris (& Rome)! And of course, as pointed by the other comments, the 2-room B&B is warm and cosy, with a modern shower in the large, independent bath-room, and a large 1st floor enabling a lot of privacy if needed. Breakfast honours RABELAIS' Gargantua tales and are a wonder of delicacies. The 2 cats are lovely also. It is obvious Richard and Roseliane enjoy meeting strangers, both at home and abroad, and we thank them for it!
